Share your requirements with our team

Our team needs to know the number of participants and your badge requirements 4 weeks in advance to arrange the necessary equipment and materials. Once your event details are finalized, share the requirements with our Customer Success team at cs@zuddl.com

Your badge can be customized based on the printing method and the template design you want to use, and our team can assist you in this process.

These numbers are based on the assumption that the router has one LAN port.

We suggest using an equal number of iPads and printers. If the routers cannot connect to two printers each, use an equal number of routers and printers.


Using the Zuddl Onsite App

The Zuddl Onsite App lets you check in your participants at the event venue, and print badges for them.

Ensure that you have organizer or moderator access for the event and that registrations have started.

The Printer and the device using the Onsite App must be connected to the same network. Ideally, the iPad/mobile should be connected to the router via WiFi, and the printer should be connected to the same router either via LAN or WiFi.

To use the Onsite App for printing badges:

  1. Install the Zuddl Onsite App from the Apple App Store or Android Play Store.
